Old laptop won't run old games?

Question

laptops

Hello. I own an old Lenovo y570 laptop.
Characteristics:
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2430M CPU 2.40GHz
RAM. 6gb DDR3
Video card Nvidia Geforce 555m 1gb The

question is actually what. I have buggy games that are quite low in terms of requirements. There is a list of games where the recommended system parameters are identical to mine, but at the same time the game at the minimum requirements produces FPS 15-25. It is clear that I do not require modern games to run on this computer, but it seems to me that games from 2010-14 should run without problems.

And I want to be understood, maybe I'm mistaken and this laptop performance is normal. Or maybe I'm right and there's some problem I don't know about.

The laptop does not overheat much, the video card shows 50 degrees in normal mode and 65 degrees in the game. The processor is also within 50-65 degrees. Tried installing different windows and drivers. The result is the same. Skyrim averages 20 fps. CS/GO is buggy. Dota 2 goes only almost to the most minimal

. Maybe someone will tell you, thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Make sure you are playing on a discrete graphics card and not on an integrated one. I kind of got caught too.

Answer 2

This is a very weak card. 2011, now even embeds are faster. For example, UHD630 (this is a built-in of the previous generation of Intel) is ~ 1.7 times faster ( https://technical.city/ru/video/UHD-Graphics-630-p... ), and this is not even a vega (gap of 2-3 times). So you should not think about any performance. The processor also cannot boast of characteristics (celeron level).
If you want more or less modern games, then you should think about a new device, but the prices are now very high. There is also an option for streaming services, such as geforce now, but it is unlikely that you will be able to play dynamic.

Answer 3

So in general it should be.
The data on the site is not very truthful, but generally close to reality

. Similarly, for DotA or CS, there is not enough power even for medium ones.
